Even established giants sometimes tap external capital for new ventures. Central Japan Railway Company, the operator behind the iconic Tokaido Shinkansen, has raised $3.0M in a seed funding round to bolster its international high-speed rail consulting efforts.
JR Central's Overseas High Speed Rail Project Consulting and Coordination Office leverages decades of expertise, including a perfect safety record on the Shinkansen since 1964, to advise global projects. This includes active involvement in the Texas High-Speed Railway and the Northeast Corridor SCMAGLEV Project in the US, alongside its ongoing technical consulting for Taiwan High Speed Rail.
